I took some time off on Monday and decided to go out and take some more photographs - I've been thinking for a while we need a shot of the famous Lobby Dosser statue on the Web site - and this 'need' was made more acute when Alex Gardner - a visitor to the site - commented on the fact that this was curious ommission. So here just for you Alex is a picture. You can find this statue on Woodlands Road just across from The Halt bar.

I went into the Mitchell Library while I was out - they have an exhibition showing photographs and artifacts from their Glasgow Room. Very interesting stuff - old maps of Glasgow, 19th centruy guide books and loads of photographs of the different areas of Glasgow including some interesting one's of the West End before it was 'built-up'. One particularly appealling photographs was one of some old cottages on Byres Road.

After coming out of the Mitchell I took the above picture of the Beltane St entrance (built by James Sellars a follower of Alexander Thompson) and looked around for more good looking West End buildings. Here 's a photograph of Royal Crescent - a rather smart little crescent set back from Sauchiehall St near Finnieston.

Took this photograph of the drinking fountain at Charing Cross a few weeks back. It's Glasgow's answer to the leaning tower of Pizza! I don't know the history of the fountain - if you know anything about it please get in touch.

I have a selection of my photographs for sale in the Gallery Shop.

Its a long time since I have seen the Lobby Dosser statue and was therefore pleasantly surprised to come across it on your site.

I understand it was vandalised recently but has been put back together again. (sods that they are).

I have tucked your picture aside to show friends and impress them by my knowlege of the statues background.

More power tae yer camara.
